  • Tennis Study Guide
    TENNIS STUDY GUIDE HISTORY Mary Outerbridge is credited with bringing tennis to America in the mid-1870’s by introducing it to the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club. In 1880 the United States Lawn Tennis Association (USLTA) was established, Lawn was dropped from the name in the 1970’s and now go by (USTA). Tennis began as a lawn sport, but later clay, asphalt and concrete became more standard surfaces. The four most prestigious World tennis tournaments include: the U.S. Open, Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon . In 1988, tennis became an official medal sport. Tennis can be played year round, is low in cost, and needs only two or four players; it is also suitable for all age groups as well as both sexes. EQUIPMENT The only equipment needed to play tennis consists of a racket, a can of balls, court shoes and clothing that permits easy movement. The most important tip for beginners to remember is to find a racket with the right grip. The net hangs 42 inches high at each post and 36 inches high at the center. RULES The game starts when one person serves from anywhere behind the baseline to the right of the center mark and to the left of the doubles sideline. The server has two chances to serve legally into the diagonal service court. Failure to serve into the court or making a serving fault results in a point for the opponents. The same server continues to alternate serving courts until the game is finished, and then the opponent serves.

No. 2 seed Kevin Anderson, who has already clinched a career-high 44 wins in 2015, could surpass 1,000 aces on the season against unseeded American Steve Johnson. The ATP World Tour’s ace leader, No. 7 seed Ivo Karlovic, meets a resurgent Ernests Gulbis, who is seeking his first semi- final appearance of the season. Also playing for his first semi in over a year is Lukas Rosol, who looks to build off his upset of No. 4 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga with another of No. 6 seed Gael Monfils. No. 1 seed David Ferrer takes an 8-0 FedEx Head 2 Head record (17-2 in sets) against No. 8 seed Fabio Fognini into their quarter-final match. The in-form Italian Fognini won the Australian Open doubles title with countryman Simone Bolelli and has posted strong singles results late in the season, just as his fiancée Flavia Pennetta is doing on the women’s tour. Fognini watched from Arthur Ashe Stadium as Pennetta captured the US Open title on Sept.

  • The Ballad of Kiss My Ace!
    The Ballad of “Kiss My Ace”- A Women’s USTA 2.5 tennis team- Club Fit Briarcliff Westchester, Ny If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, And treat those two impostors just the same By Jeff Scott- Club Fit Pro and 2012 Team Coach A Floating Ball was coming down our Southern “Ace” team’s “heartland” of the tennis court, during our match point for the deciding and final match of the Eastern Sectional Championship tournament. Marcie lunged for it with her backhand two-fisted volley, and steered the ball deep into the home Northern team’s heartland, apparently smack on the baseline! A simultaneous shriek of joy erupted from both Jodi and Marcie, as the match was hard fought, close as can be and deep into the super tiebreak. After all, it was a competition against the team that had clinched the tournament and was heading off to vie for the National Title. The win against the tournament champion certainly would have been gratifying, and would have catapulted the Southern Aces into second place, a very respectable finish to a Cinderella season by unified and determined group of Westchester tennis warrior women! But no! Defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory by the most unlikely of sources- a defiant finger wagged in the air! With an air of duplicity, an admonition and an over-rule were issued simultaneously with one, exultation stealing gesture. The infamous finger belonged not to one of the Northern’s opponents, but to a one of the few local officials assigned to monitor the tournament.

  • A Natural Experiment on Reversibility Bias

A Natural Experiment on Reversibility Bias August 2019 Marco Fanno Working Papers - 238 Play it again! A Natural Experiment on Reversibility Bias Thomas Bassetti∗ Stefano Boniniy Fausto Paciccoz Filippo Pavesi§ Abstract Behavioral biases affect a large number of human decisions, many of which have relevant welfare effects. We identify a bias that we denote as "reversibility bias" and explore how the introduction of explicit exposure mechanisms can contribute to attenuate it. To do this, we exploit a unique natural experiment - the introduction of a decision review system represented by player challenges and the associated Hawk-Eye technology in professional tennis. This experiment allows us to identify the bias, by illustrating that if such a bias exists, the challenge rule should reduce the number of calls that postpone the assignment of a point. Our findings may have significant policy implications provid- ing a conceptual framework for the design of institutions to alleviate the welfare costs associated with reversibility bias in different contexts, such as court rulings, human resource management and debt roll-over decisions.

  • THE SHOT CYCLE: Key Building Block for Situation Training
    Produced by Wayne Elderton, a Tennis Canada National Level 4 Coach, Head of Coaching Development and Certification in BC and Tennis Director of the North Vancouver Tennis Centre. © 2008 Wayne Elderton, acecoach.com (Revised March 2018) THE SHOT CYCLE: Key Building Block for Situation Training It is common for coaches use strokes (e.g. the forehand, the backhand, the serve, the volley, etc.) for their training and planning however, in a Game-based approach (GBA), it is ‘situations’ rather than strokes that need to be trained. It is not as effective to organize planning and training around strokes as it is to use situations. For example, if a player hits a rally topspin forehand crosscourt from the baseline, which is more similar tactically and technically: a rally topspin backhand crosscourt from the baseline or, a leveled off attacking forehand from ¾ court? Obviously the FH and BH are more similar than the two forehands. How effective is it then to teach (and learn) ‘the forehand’ when one doesn’t know which forehand? Rather than only a process of learning strokes, learning tennis is really a process of expanding the library of situations you can handle during play (which includes different strokes). Even players who are not taught this way go through this process in spite of their coaching. For example, players typically learn how to handle the tactics of different opponents by experiencing them in match play. The goal of Situation Training (ST) is to identify these situations and shortcut the learning process by exposing players to the problems and solutions encountered during play.

    ICO Analysis: Tokenstars ACE The contents of this publication are presented for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal or financial advice. DESCRIPTION TokenStars is a sports agency that aims to disrupt the way tennis players are recruited and advertised, using a global network of scouts and promoters as well as elements of decentralized management. MARKET The sports agency market is relatively big and profitable, and the best players earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Tennis has a small market share with only three out of forty biggest companies engaged. The unquestioned leader in this particular industry is the IMG agency that operates in a wide range of countries and has the biggest network of contacts. How does it work? In tennis, agents come to talented players when those are 13–14 years old, and it's time to decide as to whether continue the path to the big sport or not. To pursue a professional career, a junior player needs to incur costs of $100,000 annually. Most of these funds are spent on a few essential aspects of an athlete's development, such as participating in tournaments to improve ranking, joining a tennis academy or training with a coach, and purchasing the equipment. Grants and advertising contracts can cover the expenditures only partially. That's why sports agencies play a huge role. If a junior player performs well at the tournaments, they might be offered some long-term contracts by the age of 18, which would support them financially. Soon, a junior player becomes a pro, and their commercial success depends heavily on the ranking position.
